Re: Multi-threading ping of a list of hosts.....Again!

I have used fping in backticks and parsed the output from Perl. fping is a fast parallel ping utitlity and the man page even includes examples of calling it from Perl.

Downloaded it but couldn't install it!!!. Extracted the downloaded Zip file, however there was no fping utility as such that that i can use from cmd or Perl script. The example Perl script included was calling for a &open2 file which did not exist....etc I think I will stick to a pure Perl solutions. Thanks Blackadder	[reply]
